Welcome to The Alcove

Just around the corner from the popular Green Street nightspots, you'll have instant access to Campustown's best bars, live music, and late-night energy. Whether it's a Thursday night out or a weekend brunch, the best of Champaign's dining and nightlife scene is right outside your door. The building is minutes away everything, making it easy to walk or bike to class, grab coffee between lectures, or meet friends for dinner without ever needing a ride.
